... been promoted to Superintendent. The investigation could never claim to be 'independent'. Terry's links to British Intelligence through his Chairmanship of Polygraph Security Services, which imports the lie-detector, are worth investigation. Harrison was Special Branch liaison officer between the Sussex Police and MI5, and the officer who interrogated Captain Colin Wallace in Brighton after Wallace killed his lover's husband. Small world.(3 ) * * * Still unreleased is the 'Whiteside Inquiry'. In December 1981 R.U .C . Chief Sir John Hermon set up an internal investigation to discover what happened to missing files and why the Kincora buggers weren't prosecuted earlier.

... by any other means', ending within days campaigns that might otherwise drag on for months. Such bombardment 'will create the most terrifying effect on savage races, and the awful wastage of life occasioned to white troops by such expeditionary work would be avoided, whilst the cost would be considerably reduced'. The fact that such bombardment would inevitably kill non- combatants was more than compensated by the reduction in troop casualties and the comparative cheapness of the use of air power. And this seemed to be borne out by the post-World War 1 experience. The use of air power against insurgents led by Mohammed Abdullah Hassan (known as the 'Mad Mullah' by the British) ...

... the pilots who survived the war, Sgt Vaclav 'Felix' Bauman and Sgt Leopold 'Polda' Srom, have left personal log books recording a flight in the early evening of May 10, 1941, when they were scrambled in a pair of Hurricanes to attack a single German plane over Southern Scotland. Just as they were closing in for the kill, with a Messerchmitt Bf110 fighter-bomber trapped in their gunsights, RAF Fighter Command inexplicably called off their attack. Both pilots remained convinced for the rest of their lives that they were pulled off this certain 'kill' to allow Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess, to land unharmed in Scotland on his famous but still unexplained peace flight to ...

... , no reasonable person can argue that Lee Harvey Oswald was innocent....He establishes that Oswald fired three shots from the window of the Texas School Book Depository.... No shots – not hits or misses – were fired from the grassy knoll or any other place around Dallas' Dealey Plaza....Oswald killed Kennedy and he acted alone....But no serious scholar of the president's assassination will ever write again on the subject without citing Bugliosi....With this work, Bugliosi has definitively explained the murder that recalibrated America. It is a book for the ages. ' 'Bugliosi is refreshing because he doesn't just pick apart ...

... (1 ) What I shall attempt here is an examination of this myth of the SAS as it is elaborated in Peter de la Billiere's autobiography and his personal account of the Gulf War.(2 ) Born Rebel De la Billiere was born in April 1934, the son of a Surgeon Lieutenant Commodore in the Royal Navy, who was killed during the German invasion of Crete in 1941. He never really knew his father and confesses that it was only much later that he felt any real sense of loss. He was brought up by his mother and a succession of nannies. His account of his childhood in Looking For Trouble, entitled 'Born Rebel', is a story ...

... the KGB file on Oswald but hinted that something might turn up from an unexpected quarter. Turner suspects that Farewell America was that something; that although the book was put together by French intelligence people, it was the contact with Kostikov which led to it. The pseudonymous writer of the book was Thomas Buchanan, author of the 1964 Who Killed Kennedy? Although Robert Kennedy's public line was to support the Warren Commission verdict, privately he got a friend, Patrick Moynihan, later a senator, to make some inquiries about the event (which could amount to what, realistically?), some of which material found its way into the book. So we may have had the ...

... the UDA's 'targeting' of the Nationalist community improved: fewer Catholics were murdered at random, more IRA members. Another way of describing these events would be this: the British Army was running the UDA's assassins against the IRA - and successfully, too. In effect, in the late 1980s the British state decided that while they could not kill the IRA openly (the late Alan Clark MP's solution: let the SAS loose), they could get the Prods to do it for them. A case can be made that part of the reason we have an IRA cease-fire at present is the inroads made into the IRA's ranks by this joint Army-UDA assassination programme ...

... Quiles and Imbot's first post-Greenpeace steps was to shake up the Action Service. They closed the Aspretto base, ended recruitment from two parachute regiments and resurrected the DGSE (then SDECE's) old strong-arm branch, the 11th Shock Regiment, disbanded by De Gaulle in 1962 for its close sympathies with the OAS who had attempted to kill De Gaulle on numerous occasions. (Guardian 3 and 7 October 1985. In reality, of course, the school later reopened, its 60 saboteurs absorbed into the 11th Shock under its new commander, Col. Jean-Claude Lesquer - the Action Service chief who had organised the Rainbow Warrior sabotage.) Apart from the right- ...

For sixteen years there have been few signs of any serious attempts to locate and bring to justice the perpetrator of this outrage. Finally, this April, in an outstanding piece of investigative journalism, a re-examination of the pathological and ballistical evidence strongly contests the official version of that tragic event in St James's Sq.( ...

... flaws and recycles a good deal of material already available in Garrison's own On the Trail of the Assassins, but is on the whole well researched, produces some interesting new information, and is highly plausible. There are fundamentally two schools of thought in JFK studies. One, represented for example by David Scheim, blames the Mafia for the killing. (1 ) The other, embodied in the work of Lane, Garrison and Summers (admittedly their versions of the story are rather different) fingers the CIA. (2 ) DiEugenio backs the second group. Briefly, he maintains that Kennedy was the victim of a plot hatched in the Western Hemisphere division of the CIA. ...
